S.B. pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm to her 8-month-old infant, R.B., who sustained multiple fractures.
The court considered aggravating factors such as the victim's age, breach of trust, and delay in seeking medical attention, alongside mitigating factors including S.B.'s mental health issues, reduced cognitive capabilities, postpartum depression, and guilty plea.
Applying sentencing principles from R. v. McCauley and R. v. Habib, the court found special mitigating circumstances warranted a conditional sentence.
S.B. was sentenced to a 15-month conditional sentence, followed by 36 months probation, a 10-year section 110 order, and a DNA order.
